on repeat
song I have on repeat lately
so, every once in a while i keep a few songs on repeat, and end up listening to them exclusively on the drive to work, to the grocery store, the book store.... here they are. hold on, it's an eclectic list!
for my soul
when i need to feel my soul
there are songs that moved me through moments of grief, songs that made me share at that exact moment with people i love. here are a few of my favorites, and they might make you cry. i know they did me.

FROM ME TO YOU

made me think
why?
"If you decide that you cannot beat a temptation, what you are really doing is giving yourself permission to be irresponsible."
I had never seen a temptation in this light, and at this moment decided I had more power than anything external could ever hold over me.
this sentence was life-changing.
I've marked the entire book, and if I could share it all here I would!
highly recommend!
Thank you Gary Zukov!
made me think
why?
"Dragging around guilt & self criticism is beyond unhealthy and is utterly pointless, not to mention boring. You aren't a better person for feeling guilty or bad about yourself. Just a sadder one."
isn't this a better way to think about guilt?
when I first saw this book title i was like, nah, this seems silly.
but i gave it a go, and found it laugh out loud funny and hugely inspirational, so much I bought multiple copies and gave them to my teenage triplet daughters.
highly recommend! thank you Jen Sincero! You are a Badass!
words that move me
listen to the mustn'ts
Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me -
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.

this bridge
This bridge will only take you halfway there.
To those mysterious lands you long to see:
Through gypsy camps and swirling Arab fairs
And moonlit woods where unicorns run free.
So come and walk awhile with me and share
The twisting trails and wondrous worlds I've known.
But this bridge will only take you halfway there -
The last few steps you'll have to take alone.

underface
Underneath my outside face
There's a face that none can see.
A little less smiley,
A little less sure,
but a whole lot more like me.

I have been fortunate in life.
below I share with you art I created during my various travels and life experiences. many have stories, some do not.
some just needed to happen. and so they did. photography is like breathing to me...
